Funny, I had never connected her to Ghostbusters or Awakenings. She had some great cameo roles after DS.

I saw her in a play at the Schubert theatre in New Haven when I was in college. It was called Thieves. It had a first rate cast: Valerie Harper, Richard Mulligan, Dick Van Patten, Anne Wedgeworth and Professor Irwin Corey. The play itself was unmemorable.
